Disk Settings - spin down


Recommended Posts

I wonder if anyone has any experience with this.

 

so when i have spin down disabled i do not get these errors.

 

i am running a Lenovo desktop, connected to NetApp DS4246 72TB 24x 3TB 7.2K SATA X308A-R5 with a Dell LSI SAS 9202-16e 6Gb/s SAS Host Bus Adapter.  I am hoping to be able to figure out how to spin down drives without the error.

 

(ill have to find my serial adapter and try to connect to the storage shelf but i also want to figure out how to properly send shutdown command to the shel when the ups shuts down the server in case of power outage). 

 

i only bring that up because i am wondering if they two could be solved with a similar fix.  that is connecting usb to serial adapter to the server and figuring out how to tell unraid (or slackware) to issue commands to the netapp.  Commands like spinning down and up drives, or shutting down or turning on the whole shelf.

fair enough, thank you for the response.

 

does anyone have any experience talking to the iom6 controller from a non-netapp server.  i believe i would telnet into it?

 

no that can't be right, just connect on a serial terminal, maybe?

I am on v6.8.3.  How do I spin down unassigned devices.  I seem to remember I could click on the green orb and that would do it, but the orbs on my unassigned devices are already grey but my unassigned drives are showing a temp.  I have to assume if the drives are showing a temp that they are not spun down.
